FIG Working Week 2020 (canceled)

Overview Image

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the cancellation of this year’s FIG Working Week in Amsterdam due 10-14 May.

We know this comes as a disappointment. And each one of you was looking forward to present, to network and to demonstrate your research, projects and products to our FIG community. As well as to explore the vibrant city of Amsterdam and the unique countryside in the Netherlands. We were also looking forward to welcoming you in Amsterdam in May. However, it was not meant to be.

This is not a decision we have taken lightly and there are two overriding concerns that have caused us to make this decision at this time.

First, the Dutch Government announced new measurements to control the COVID-19 outbreak. In the Netherlands all gatherings are prohibited until 1 June.

Second, our primary concern is always the wellbeing of you, and we would not take on the responsibility, during these times, to bring so many surveyors from all over the world together.
